Interesting, I have a Pockit account and haven't heard anything from them. Maybe because it's the weekend, but they usually send notification emails when their services go down sometimes for maintenance (card withdrawals were usually unaffected though)..

There are notification emails to affected customers this weekend, or at least, I have received 2 so far, so I assume that all affected customers got them. I'm not sure if all Pockit accounts are with Wirecard.

You can see more at the links that they give: https://twitter.com/PockitUK https://blog.pockit.com/important-update-pockit-accounts-tem...

I am thankfully, not substantially unconvinced by this account being frozen. But I am sure that it's not good for many Pockit customers or for Pockit's business.

My card says Wirecard, and the last email from Pockit was on the 20th ("Summer of cashback"). Strange.

But I'm not using it much, it's just a card for safe online purchases. Saved me twice, it's a good thing to have.

Right, I also see the words "issued by Wirecard Card Solutions Ltd" in the small print on the back of the card.

Getting the email might also be related to recent activity, e.g. when you last used the card?

Be aware that while it's good to have a backup card, this one is not going to save you today.
